Kennedy Ombima alias King Kaka has claimed that he has been summoned by the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) over his recent poetic piece dubbed “Wajinga Nyinyi”.
The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) has summoned rapper Kennedy Ombima popularly know as King Kaka over his recent poetic piece dubbed “Wajinga Nyinyi”.
King Kaka’s manager Dennis Njenga said the rapper is required to report immediately at the DCI headquarters on Kiambu Road.
The piece describes the rot in Kenya including social ills such as corruption, nepotism, unemployment and failing leadership in the political class. Without mincing words, King Kaka named politicians accused of the vices.
The summoning comes just hours after Kirinyaga Governor Anne Waiguru threatened to take legal action against King Kaka should he fail to take down the controversial piece.
In the piece, the award-winning artiste took a shot at Waiguru who was widely mentioned in the first NYS scandal in which the taxpayer lost at least Ksh790 million.

Through Kitagu Wathuta & Company Advocates, Waiguru stated that King Kaka paints her as an extremely corrupt individual who was involved in the theft of Sh790 million from NYS, claims she says are unfounded.
The lyrics, Waiguru says, depict her as unfit to hold office.
“You ought to have known that despite extensive investigations and several prosecutions in relation to the loss of funds at NYS, our client has never been charged in a court of law as an accused person in relation to NYS or any other scandal …,” it continues.
Citing defamation, the governor maintains that the lyrics of the song caused her “grave, irreparable and permanent damage” to her image.

The 6 minutes 57 seconds video has elicited reactions on social media. Critics reckon that he should not have thrown jibes at individuals while leaving out others.
Fans, on the other hand, congratulated him for using his artistry to get the word out about what really ails the country.
